'Incredible response' to Rotary Club of Stamford St Martin's tool collection at Morrisons supermarket
Despite heavy rain, the tool collection on Saturday at Morrisons was a success.
James Edwards, from the Rotary Club of Stamford St Martin's, said: “There was an incredible response from the public and a lot of positive feedback.
“Among the items donated were 29 sewing machines, three knitting machines, an electric welder, a rotavator , countless hand tools and garden and power tools.
“Thank you to all the people who made donations and the Rutland & Stamford Mercury and Morrisons for their support. Lastly, thank you Geoff Collett for organising.”
The tools will help people in Africa to launch their own businesses.
